Why do you erase your SD card pictures? Why do you prepare your card data backups before any deletion, erasing or formatting processes? Next time, no matter what happens, never do such operations without data backups again.
And now, without card pictures backups, you'd better never add new pictures or files on this SD card and insert it well to your Windows computer well.
And then, use SD card data recovery software to rescue your wanted SD card pictures back.
And, at last, save all restored pictures to another storage device and save copies of them on different places.

Reformatting the card will delete everything on the card HOWEVER I'm not sure about the ones already saved on the camera. Your camera has a USB connection, it may be safer to move the pictures to a pc before you try anything.
Good luck,

Have lost my photo's from my SD card on Canon PowerShot SX120. i formatted.. how can i get them back

Formatting a memory card completely erases the pictures with no hope of retrieval. If you had only deleted them, you could have used photo retrieval software to get them back.

My camera says my memory card is locked but the button on the side is not locked how do i retrieve my pictures i have a canon powershot a480

Issue: [Memory card locked] message appears on the screen.
Solution: Change the memory card lock switch to the normal setting

The SD card has a lock switch to prevent existing data from being erased. To record images or movies this switch must be in the normal (non lock) position. Different brands of SD memory cards may identify this switch differently. Regardless the procedure should be the same. Please remove the card from the camera and ensure that the switch is not in the locked position. sdcardlocked.jpg
sdcardunlocked.jpg ---
You should be able to retrieve photos, but not writing or erasing if the switch is switched to write protect.

If it's not functioning correctly, the camera may need service at Canonusa.com.

I need to recover accidently erased image files from my sd card for my Canon S2-IS camera

First of all, do not save any new file to camera's memory card.

Take out memory card, and connect it to computer using a card reader. You should see memory card shown as a drive letter (like H:) in Windows Explorer.
Download this photo recovery software

Install and open the photo recovery software, select the memory card, and click 'Start' button.

Retrieving file

There are companies that claim to be able to retrieve deleted files on mem cards, if their space has not been written over by other pics taken sense, or a mem card FORMAT. Google it.

Your better approach may be to try to recover the files showing 3Meg size on your computer download. Sounds like mem card quit working correctly after first 100 photoes. Was this a name brand SD card like San Disk or Panasonic? Beware of off brand junk sold on ebay or other sites CHEAP. They are designed to report back the size they claim to be, but are 1/2 size capacity or less in reality. You never know until you need your photos. The other thing is SD cards fail and are never a good as a BackUp source for files. For file xfers only in general.

Good lesson for all is to be sure all your pics show up on your computer before deleting on camera.
